    This Forum is for buying and selling coins, have asked a mod to move to the proper forum. As far as your Cent goes, it has a little value over face. Floating roofs are quite common and can occur on any year Lincoln Memorial cent, in fact they are not even recognized by the major grading companies anymore Keep it as an example if you like though.

    Another duplicate thread

    Duplicate post. Third time

    Welcome to the Forum. If a coin is damaged, it doesn't really matter how and you may never know how unless you were there at the time. Damage is damage. Most times damage makes a coin a cull coin and is a spender.

    Grading fees $50-60.00 Value of coin 25 cents Your choice

    All 1963 Lincolns are a WAM All1993 Lincolns are a CAM This is what you are showing in your photos.

    Welcome to the Forum Not a proof CENT. Just a regular Philadelphia minted 1990 Lincoln with some circulation wear.

    Agree that it is Machine Doubling (aka strike doubling) a worthless type of doubling. In the future, please reduce the magnification on your photos, bigger isn’t always better. Anything you can’t see at 10X is irrelevant anyways.

    2.99g is within spec for a Lincoln copper coin. You can’t tell the composition by the colour as copper can change to many colours, depending on what is has been exposed to. Certainly not worth spending $50-60.00 getting graded when it is only worth a couple of cents.

    It looks raised which means it is some sort of a die gouge.
  11. Greenstang
    Really need to see the whole coin but it looks like Die Deterioration Doubling along with some Split Plating on the MM
  12. Greenstang
    The “L” in LIBERTY is close to the rim on all Lincoln’s up to 1969 when the master die was reworked and moved away from the rim. It doesn’t take much wear for it to be almost touching. I don’t know why people selling on eBay or YouTube think this is an error when it is common.
  13. Greenstang
    Could also be Die Deterioration Doubling as everything is running towards the rim. Doesn't really matter though as both are a worthless type of Doubling.

    The edge lettering is randomly put on by a different machine so the lettering could be in different positions and orientation.

    If it were silver, it would weigh 6.25g What you have is regular quarter that has been plated
  16. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Always show both sides of the coin when posting along with the weight to two decimal points. The weight can tell you if it is silver or not but as bssHog40 stated, what makes you think it is silver.

    Sorry but both are fakes.

    In 1944/45 the nickels were chrome plated nickel. Not unusual for the chrome to wear off or get damaged in places.
  20. Greenstang
    It was complete when it left the mint, been damaged afterwards. Still worth 5 cents if you can get someone to accept it.
  21. Greenstang
    Simple, just look at the edge, if it is shiny like the face, then it is processed. An original 1943 cent is made of a steel core layered on both sides with zinc and it will show on the edge as a dull colour.
  22. Greenstang
    You need a scale that is accurate to at least two decimal points, What you have is nowhere near accurate enough. How do we know that is not 2.7?
  23. Greenstang
    Not sure where you see doubling but it looks normal to me.
  24. Greenstang
    That is a basement slabber and they can put whatever they want on the heading true or not. Just look at some of the coins that they grade.
  25. Greenstang
    In that case it is a counterfeit.
